With a top speed of 600 km per hour, China is ready to define rail travel, where a distance of 1,200 km can be covered in just 150 minutes.
Yes, you read it right. Beijing successfully tested the magnetic levitation technology (Maglev) that could see how trains were traveling faster than aircraft.
Train – introduced this week at the 17th Modern exhibition Railways – is able to reach speeds of up to 600 km per hour in just 7 seconds.
This effectively means that the super fast maglev traveling around 1,200 km between Beijing and Shanghai could reduce the current travel time of 5.5 hours of high -speed rail to just 2.5 hours, which is 150 minutes, reported the Chinese morning mail.
Maglev train faster than aircraft
Maglev technology uses contradictory magnetic fields to lift the train from the track, reducing friction and allowing smoother, quieter and faster movement.
In his last Dongh Laboratory in the Chinese province of Hubei-Proveno in June-1,1 ton Maglev, the train accelerated to 404 MPH in less than 7 seconds in 1,968 feet.
The latest development comes after the previous test in 2023, where the same technological speeds exceeding 620 km / h – faster than nozzles in flight, which usually travel around 547 to 575 mph, said Newsweek.
The test was carried out inside the vacuum tube designed to simulate air resistance in almost zero air. This breakthrough uses high -temperature superconductant levitation, which allows without friction, quiet travel at record speeds.
Donghu Laboratory engineers expect them to complete their high -speed tracks according to Newsweek by the end of 2025.
What does the Maglev train look like?
Maglev’s new high -speed train, developed by China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), boasts an elegant aerodynamic design with a pointed nose to minimize air resistance.
According to the SCMP, the State broadcaster CCTV shares footage of a futuristic interior of the new train, which represents a spacious cabin and large digital screens.
The new CRRC high -speed train is one of several advanced transport projects in China.
